Image of 2 TB Time Capsule Box?


Apple retailer ClubMac's 500 GB Time Capsule page is currently displaying an image (shown above) of a 2 TB Time Capsule retail box in its "Product Detail" section. Apple's Time Capsule combination wireless router and network-attached storage drive is currently available only in 500 GB ($299) and 1 TB ($499) models.

The original source of the image used on ClubMac's site is unknown, though promotional product images typically come from the manufacturer (Apple).

Apple just updated the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule last month, so we don't know if the timing is right for a storage bump, but tipster Brandon just noticed that the ClubMac's promo pic of the TC box features an unmistakable 2TB badge. Makes sense to us -- 500GB is laughably small for a device designed to back up multiple machines, and standard-height 2TB drives are becoming commonplace.

It'd be hard for me to pass up the 2 TB if they offered it for the current high-end price. I'm using a 1 TB drive connected to a AE, but I'd love to be able to keep it ALL backed up.

That would be a great deal if Apple kept the same price point!

There better be a price drop for the 500gb and 1TB because that is kind of expensive compared to other external hd system and similar systems. But 2tb does sound pretty tempting though.

Not bad. Now if only they'd eliminate the 500GB and replace the 1TB with the 2TB keeping the same price points.

Honestly though I just bought 2 - 1TB Seagate Firewire 800 drives one just for time Machine for my iMac and MBA and the other for extra storage for $360 and they've been working great from me. I even set up a partition just for my MBA to do it's backups wirelessly so I would really not need this, but I like it.

Time Capsule is too limited, Apple needs to change it into this but with Apple's design:

With 1TB+ hard drives becoming more common, it would make a lot of sense.

Slightly different segment.

I think as we're seeing an across the board increase in the baseline hd's being shipped with Macs, seeing a bump like this is inevitable.

Would be cool if there was some new software in the works to also use the TC as a home media server with total integration of iTunes, Front Row, etc.

Apple would probably remove the 500GB model, and lower the price of the 1TB model.
